The effects of gardening on quality of life

SYSTEMATIC REVIEW ̈ 333 Massimo Del Fabbro, Stefano Corbella, Silvio Taschieri, Luca Francetti, Roberto Weinstein Autologous platelet concentrate for post-extraction socket healing: A systematic review Massimo Del Fabbro, BSc, PhD Key words platelet concentrates, socket healing, systematic review, tooth sockete Background: Autologous platelet concentrates are claimed to enhance hard and soft tissue healing due to the considerable amount of growth factors that are released after application in the surgical site However, their actual efficacy for improving tissue healing and regeneration in oral surgery applications is controversial Tooth extraction socket healing represents a proper model to study the effect of autologous platelet-enriched preparations due to the concomitant occurrence of different processes of both hard and soft tissue healing Purpose: To evaluate the efficacy of platelet concentrates for alveolar socket healing after tooth extraction, by conducting a systematic review Materials and methods: Medline, Embase and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials were searched using a combination of specific search terms The last electronic search was performed on 15 June, 2014 Manual searching of the relevant journals and of the reference lists of reviews and all identified randomised controlled trials was also performed Randomised controlled trials evaluating the effect of a platelet concentrate on fresh extraction sockets were included Further inclusion criteria were that at least 10 patients were treated (at least per group) and there was a minimum follow-up duration of months Primary outcomes were postoperative complications, patient satisfaction and postoperative discomfort Secondary outcomes were any clinical, radiographic, histological and histomorphometric variables used to assess hard and soft tissue healing Assessment of the methodological quality of the trials was made Results were expressed as fixed-effects models using mean differences for continuous outcomes and risk ratios for dichotomous outcomes, with 95% confidence intervals (CI) Results: The initial search yielded 476 articles After the screening process, six articles met the inclusion criteria (199 teeth in 156 patients) Three studies were considered at high risk of bias, two at medium risk and one at low risk A large heterogeneity in study characteristics and outcome variables used to assess hard tissue healing was observed A meta-analyses of two studies reporting histomorphometric evaluation of bone biopsies at months’ follow-up showed greater bone formation when platelet concentrates were used, as compared to control cases (P [...]... periodontitis by socio-economic status and inflammation in a longitudinal population-based study J Clin Periodontol 2013;40:203–211 2 Gonda T, MacEntee MI, Kiyak HA, Persson GR, Persson RE, Wyatt C Predictors of multiple tooth loss among socioculturally diverse elderly subjects Int J Prosthodont 2013;26: 127–134 3 Ravald N, Johansson CS Tooth loss in periodontally treated patients: a long-term study of. ..
